Thank you, that is much appreciated.
Another option that avoids flames and hot lead gases is to buy sheet lead from McMaster Carr supply.
It would involve cutting a bunch of discs out of sheet and drilling holes which is easy in thin sheet.
Anything up to 1/8 thick is easily cut with tin snips.
If you know size and stack height it is easy to match the factory weights.
Good luck

I've bought lead sheeting from a local metals recycling place, and
folded into the shape I needed for ballast. Exposed lead is a pain to
handle though, it keeps getting on your hands. So when the ballast blob
is ready you may want to wrap it in duct tape or something.
